Of course, I understood that🙂 Subjective feelings may color your respons – always, but somehow I doubt that anybody would cherish the thought of living todays hectic life cramped on 45 sq.yards with absolutely no modern appliances?
For a few ‘romantic’ days, perhaps, but then reality will hit you in the back of your head like a ton of bricks😀

I really enjoy looking at this image. I have gone back to it a few times to study the details. Maybe it’s because I live in the middle of central Mexico surrounded by cactus. Lots of flowers though. Does the grass really grow in the Spring/Summer, die in the Fall/Winter and re-grow again in the Spring?

You’re asking about the grass, and the answer top your question is a ‘yes’, a little dependent on how you look at the word ‘die’. It’s the grass leaves that die (like the leaves on a tree) but the root system stay intact under the ground. It goes in sort an hibernation (like the heart of living creatures that hibernate may beat as seldom as a couple of times pr minute) When the thaw comes in the spring, the earth warms up and the life prosess start anew!
The grass is in fact no different from flowers that r4eturn year after year. They even multiply! So does the grass.

Pleased that you liked the old buildings. There must be at least 50 of them spread out over the museum ground.
